Feadship Heritage Fleet

Feadship Heritage Fleet The Feadship Heritage Fleet is an association for the owners of registered Feadships that are more than thirty years old.

It has three key objectives:
- To unite the owners of classic Feadship yachts
- To promote the continuance of the Feadship yachting heritage
- To organise events for members and offer them services related to their yachts. There are an incredible number of Feadships still sailing that were launched more than three decades ago. As well as being a testimony to Feadship standards of construction

, many of these yachts have been scrupulously maintained by their owners. They are very proud of the heritage of their yacht and still enjoy cruising the world in the style and comfort which is so very unique to the Feadship brand. The inaugural meeting of the association took place on 16 April 2013 in the historic De Roode Leeuw restaurant in Amsterdam, which was also the location of the very first Feadship meeting in late 1949. Now the activities of the Feadship Heritage Fleet continue to make history as we bring together the classics in a unique way.

This year at SAIL Amsterdam, heritage and passion come together on the water as the Feadship Heritage Fleet joins the tall ship Bark Europa for the opening parade. What unites us is a shared love for the sea and a commitment to protecting it for future generations. Both fleets dedicate themselves to education, passing on knowledge and inspiring the next wave of sailors and yacht owners. Above all, we are driven by a passion for craftsmanship, excellence and the joy of being on the water. Together, we celebrate the spirit of the sea at SAIL Amsterdam.

Afgelopen donderdag hadden we het genoegen om vereniging Feadship Heritage Fleet te ontmoeten!

Op 15 december vierde Feadship hun 75-jarig jubileum. Het indrukwekkende verhaal van Feadship begon in 1949 toen de First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders werd opgericht met een ambitieus doel: de Amerikaanse markt veroveren met Nederlands vakmanschap.

De Voogt Naval Architects, ontwerper van het iconische koninklijke jacht Piet Hein, speelde een bijzondere rol in dit succes. Bij de bouw van de Piet Hein in 1937 opereerde H.W. De Voogt nog als zelfstandig scheepsarchitect. Maar sinds 1950 maakt De Voogt officieel deel uit van Feadship, waarmee hun rijke geschiedenis in scheepsontwerp samensmolt met die van deze iconische organisatie.

Stichting Piet Hein feliciteert Feadship van harte met dit prachtige jubileum. Op naar nog vele jaren van baanbrekende innovatie en ongeëvenaarde excellentie op het water.

We zijn trots op de bijzondere verbinding tussen de Piet Hein en Feadship, en verheugen ons erop om binnenkort iets bijzonders hierover te delen. Houd onze socials in de gaten voor meer nieuws!

History in the making ⚓

The legendary designer Henri de Voogt set up his own company in 1913, and won races himself in his early – self-built – boats. Once the focus shifted exclusively to naval architecture, De Voogt began cooperating with the De Vries and Van Lent yards.

The partnership flourished after the creation of Feadship, and today this technical office for naval architecture and engineering is the creative center of the organization. As well as designing yachts in the classic Feadship tradition, De Voogt is increasingly asked to develop revolutionary new concepts. Thanks to generations of resourceful interaction between De Voogt and the Feadship yards, the final results are always spectacular.

The rich, multi-generational history of Feadship shapes everything we do today as a global leader in high-tech superyacht building. While our contemporary Feadships are literal and figurative giants of the global fleet, we remain dedicated to preserving our heritage whenever possible.A prime example is the radical rebuild of the 12-metre Mira at our Makkum yard. This project is revitalizing one of the very first yachts ever constructed under the Feadship name. Not only does it evoke fond memories of our early days, but the circular approach we're applying to this rebuild also underscores our commitment to future-compatible practices.Discover the fascinating journey of Mira’s transformation and explore more about our legacy and innovation by watching our incredible series. Join us in celebrating the past while creating a brighter future!

Throwback to 1953, when the stunning motor yacht Capri made waves at her debut at the New York Boat Show, where she was not only the largest yacht on display but also crowned Queen of the Show. 👑Here’s to 75 years of Feadship’s excellence and innovation!

History in the making! 💎

This years marks 75 years since the formation of Feadship. While the three main participants in the "First Export Association of Dutch Shipbuilders" all have histories dating back decades further, the official establishment of what is today the world's leading superyacht brand took place in a café in Amsterdam in 1949.

Pictured is the New York boat show in January 1953, where various Feadship ambassadors were celebrating the success of the Dutch brand in the United States. 

Stay tuned as over the course of this year we will share a snapshot of highlights of the first seven and a half decades of Feadship using rare and, in some cases, never previously published images to illustrate our ongoing quest for pure custom creation.
